These are the only storage boxes worth buying. I own around 20, mostly 25 gallon and a couple that are smaller, purchased during college days 11-15 years ago, and they all have more or less held up though 2 to 4 moves.
They hold up amazingly under pressure, while they may buckle/turn whiter from strain under large weights placed on top, they don't crack and usually bounce back to their shape when the weight is removed.
---
Due to their durability, I sought out only this brand to do a major organizing project on my whole house, planning to purchase around 30, and have discovered they are no longer available.
Bring them back and fire whoever decided to discontinue them!
I don't even need a warranty, I just want the quality product--as is!
P.S. If I had counted the number of non-Rubbermaid Roughneck storage boxes that I've seen sitting out BROKEN on trash day, it would probably be around 300. Buying anything else is a waste, literally.

Please bring back the 18 gal and other intermediate sizes. I don’t remember the exact gallon sizes but there were two others between the 3 and 18 gal sizes. I have not found anything as good as these. But the 24 gal is worthless for me because it’s too heavy when full.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Storage Totes Ever

Posted by: Kstog
We have been using these for 20+ years and they are great. We use them inside, outside, in the garage and attic. These are the most durable totes for all uses. I'm disappointed they are being discontinued. Please bring them back.

Great Storage, Lids go bad, no replacement lids!!!

Great product that has lasted 8+ years, but if you store outside in the sun for one , or two, years the lids begin to erode and break apart. No problem...just buy a new lid you say, but Rubbermaid won't sell you just the lid :( to bad for Rubbermaid as this would allow continued use and prevent early departure to the recycler. Almost Excellant except...you can't buy a replacement lid!!!
